He certainly wasn&#39;t exactly a drama queen, especially compared to Laughton, but he was, shall we say, &#39;family&#39;, like Mr. Laughton. Just more discreet about it.

I recognized your name from those 80&#39;s shows you did! And I have loved Kay Francis since I discovered TCM many years ago. Kay has become a friend of mine, lol, as has Mary Astor! They were such strong women who took on leading women roles, but <br />never made a fuss or sued a studio if they didn&#39;t get better writers or better roles or A+ movies. Kay and Mary made the best of what they were given, unfortunately, but I loved them anyways. They were still very strong ladies!<br />Thanks for writing how I felt. It confirmed what I saw. And I hope somehow, both ladies would be proud that so many fans on Facebook and from TCM love their work.<br />Rebeccaddaygirl7https://www.blogger.com/profile/04580986325368918485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017797717952124049.post-83978088244082181762015-12-20T23:16:35.601-05:002015-12-20T23:16:35.601-05:00Often the reviews mention the venue, as above; the...Often the reviews mention the venue, as above; the Orpheum in San Francisco, the Bijou in Richmond, VA. These old reviews are from newspapers that have been scanned, so they&#39;re complete with ads -- that would be another place to look.Linda Sandahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287596876090761101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017797717952124049.post-7696824645890274472015-12-20T20:45:23.815-05:002015-12-20T20:45:23.815-05:00Anyone know the names and locations of the theater...Anyone know the names and locations of the theaters where Buster performed, and if at least some of them still exist?Jessica Cortezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909486069220395524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017797717952124049.post-60825522772570728172015-11-03T12:13:17.421-05:002015-11-03T12:13:17.421-05:00Terrific assessment of this film!Terrific assessment of this film!Bonobo3Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05937870574691578171noreply@blogger.com
